“Mi personaje Overkill nació como un juego. Para mostrarme. Para mostrar mi rebeldía, mi pasión por el arte, mi felicidad, mi deseo de superarme.” –Overkill Drag is transformation. Drag is an alchemical process that combines body, personality, and passion to create an artistic expression of one’s new or improved self.
“Supongo que es la magia que todos tienen.” –Pony Episode two “Let the Beat Drop” of The Category Is… Mexico City serves testimonials from Pony, Alexis, Overkill, and Mother Mendoza. House of Mamis members talk about the body’s exploration, potential, and reconstruction. Voguing is a creative dance style that opposes limitations.
The establishing shot of The Category Is… Mexico City’s first episode “Welcome Home” is of Mother Mendoza putting on her eyelashes along with a voiceover from one of House of Mamis’s members, Alexis. We start in a personal setting as we watch Mother Mendoza dressing into drag for work. Throughout the docuseries, we see narratives edited between a style of confessionals and family members speaking freely, then being cut away into dance, music, and views of Mexico City.
 The Category Is… Mexico City (2020) is a mini-docuseries by creators Ocean Vashti Jude and Lauren E. Zubia Casalda, who invite viewers into a beautiful, vibrant queer space to share the transformation of voguing from its ballroom origins in New York to… Mexico City!
